What Lufthansa Technical Training does

Lufthansa Technical Training GmbH (LTT) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik AG and, in turn, the Lufthansa Group, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. Founded in 1995 with approximately 40 years of preceding Lufthansa training experience, LTT delivers EASA Part-147-approved aviation maintenance training to airlines, independent MRO providers, civil and military aviation authorities, and individual maintenance professionals. The company is the first organization ever certified under EASA Part-147 and holds additional approvals from UK CAA, Transport Canada, Brunei DCA, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, CAA Taiwan, and CAAC China; it also holds the world's exclusive Authorized Training Provider (ATP) status for Airbus A220 maintenance training since 2012.

Its service portfolio spans three pillars: vocational training (apprenticeships across eight aeronautical professions commissioned by Lufthansa Technik), basic training (EASA Part-66 foundational modules via the LUNEEK interactive learning solution), and aircraft type training (type ratings and difference courses across nearly all standard airframes and engines). Two proprietary digital platforms underpin delivery: LEVO, a web-based environment with 360-degree spherical panoramas across 10 aircraft and engine/power-plant types at 700MP resolution and automatic progress tracking; and LUNEEK, a 17-module / 350-hour EASA Part-66 curriculum authored by 30 subject-matter experts. Together, these enable roughly 50% of practical training to be conducted in classrooms rather than on physical aircraft.

Commercially, LTT operates through direct enterprise sales with dedicated Key Account Management, delivering open enrollment courses, customized corporate training (on-site or at LTT facilities), and online distance learning. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers span a mix of enterprise contracts and individual learners, with 600+ customers worldwide, 14,000 training days delivered annually, and 150,000 people trained cumulatively. Delivery infrastructure comprises seven locations across Germany (Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich), Austria (Vienna), Switzerland (Zurich), the Philippines (LTTP branch within the Lufthansa Technik Philippines compound), and China via the LTTH joint venture with HNA Aviation Technic (HNAT). Strategic positioning combines aviation MRO training depth with Lufthansa brand equity and parent-group internal demand from Lufthansa Technik and the wider Lufthansa airline network.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Airbus Services & Training: Airbus offers its own training services to operators and has a long-standing partnership with LTT as the world's only A220 ATP. Comparable as an OEM-led training provider and potential threat if Airbus internalizes more A220 training capacity in the future.
• Boeing Global Services: Boeing Global Services includes training and professional services across its commercial, defense and digital aviation portfolios. Now owning FlightSafety, it competes with LTT on type training for Boeing platforms and offers broad aviation training capabilities beyond LTT's narrower Part-147 focus.

Regional players

• Emirates Engineering / Emirates Aviation College: Emirates Engineering operates a Part-147 approved training organization and is part of the broader Emirates aviation training ecosystem in the Middle East. Comparable to LTT as a major Gulf-region MRO training competitor serving the same airline customer base.
• Etihad Aviation Training: Abu Dhabi-based aviation training organization offering type rating, cabin crew and technical training for the Gulf region. Comparable to LTT because Etihad Engineering is also a partner in the 2025 UAE MTP program and operates in an overlapping MRO training customer pool.

Direct peers

• FlightSafety International: Now part of Boeing Global Services, FlightSafety International is one of the world's largest aviation training organizations, offering EASA Part-147 maintenance training, type rating and regulatory courses to airlines, MROs and individual professionals — directly comparable to LTT's core portfolio of Part-147 basic, type and vocational training.
• Pan Am International Flight Academy: Pan Am International Flight Academy provides FAA and EASA-approved aviation training including aircraft maintenance technician programs and type training. Comparable to LTT as a Part-147-style training organization serving both commercial and individual aviation students.
• CAE: Canadian-headquartered CAE is a global aviation training leader operating the world's largest network of training centers. While stronger in pilot simulation, CAE also delivers aircraft maintenance technician training through its CAE Global Academy, competing with LTT for airline and MRO training contracts worldwide.

Others

• GE Aerospace: GE Aerospace is a 2025 strategic partner with LTT via the Dubai Airshow UAE MTP agreement. Comparable because GE offers its own engine and maintenance training services and competes/cooperates with LTT on engine type training for GE-powered aircraft.

Emerging players

• Avtron Aerospace: Provider of MRO training, technical publications and e-learning solutions for aviation maintenance. Comparable as a smaller, technology-forward training organization competing with LTT's LEVO/LUNEEK platforms for digital aviation training contracts.
• SIA Engineering Company: Singapore-based MRO provider with an embedded training arm serving Asia-Pacific operators. Comparable to LTT's LTTP Manila operation as a regional MRO-linked training provider addressing the same type-rating and basic training demand in Southeast Asia.
